troll. In passing the wire the first time all
three were close together in the following
order: Patrol Matte NJ. and Gift, At
the three-quarter pole Patrol was leading
bv half length, which was increased to
three lengths as the half-mile pole was
passed Gift was fully four lengths be-
hind Matte NJ Just before entering the
hOmestretch Matte NJ reduced Patrols
lead somewhat, but the latter had the race
in hand, and being well ridden by Leonard
was returned a winner by good length,
Matte NJ second, with Gift third, four
lengths away. Time, 3:48.
The winner, Patrol, is a fine looking
animal, and as he was imported by Messrs.
Huntley & Potter for breeding purposes,
he should be much sought after by those
who are trying to improve the country's
stock.

First heat-Dake was driven by his
owner, Clementine by Andy Brouse and
Twinkle by Petaluma Jim. At the word
ego" Clementine took the lead and grad
ually forged ahead, Twinkle breaking
badly, while Dake was some distance be
hind. After the p pole had been passed
Twinkle caught Clementine and passed
her. The lead was only temporary, for
Clementine passed Twinkle in the next
fifty yards. Coming up the home stretch a
good race ensued, and it looked as if
Clementine, who had the lead. would win.
About three hundred yards from the wire
Twinkle again got his head in front, and
coming along won the heat by half a
length.
Second heat-When the horses appeared
on the course for the second heat it was
noticed that Darkey King was driving Joe
Dake and Harry Agnew Twinkle. AT the
word go Dake took the lead with
Twinkle second. At the 34-pole Clemen-
tine passed Twinkle and began to catch up
to Dake. At the 11-mle pole Clementine
broke badly and Dake increased his lead
and won the heat in fine style by a length
and a half. To the establishment of every
one the Judges declared it no heat, as they
had cautioned King, the driver several
times while the horses were scoring. Half
an hour afterwards the horses appeared to
trOt the heat over again. Dake, who was
driven this time by Dicky Davis, went off
with the lead, but at the 34-pole Twinkle
passed him. On the lower stretch Dake
crept up and passed Twinkle. and coming
along won the heat rather easily. Twinkle
was second and Clementine third.
Third heat-A splendid start was eff
fected, Dake taking a slight lead. a
pretty race ensued between Dake and
Twinkle from the 34-pole to the lower turn,
where Twinkle took the lead. 1t was only
temporary, for before the H-pole was
reached Dake again held the lead. a bard
struggle took place, but Dake always had
the best of it. and won the heat on the
post. When the Judges announced that
Dake had won the heat and race there was
tremendous enthusiasm.
